I'd start out by looking for contractors that have working knowledge in the remodel business as they will know the scopes required to complete the project.

I am from Florida but love BP and it has been very beneficial to my business.  

I’ve been to one VRA Meetup and I think I’m going to the one next month, my girl Laura Sides will be speaking about her flip business, it’ll be a good one.

Ehhh my own fault.I'm deep on regional banks.I believe they are the back bone of American small business and all seem very well positioned.After reviewing many P&L's and balance sheets, I see lot's of value but time will tell.I'll either be a hero or a zero with this high risk investment.Wishing you much success and keep the dream alive

I have a team of four people building a fix and flip business.
